The most preferred compounds are selected from the group consisting of 4-[(2-benzothiazolyl)methylamino]-.alpha.-[(4-fluorophenoxy)methyl]-1-pipe ridineethanol and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.

In order to simplify the structural representations of the compounds of formula (I) and of certain precursors and intermediates thereof the ##STR5## will hereafter be represented by the symbol D.

The compounds of formula (I) can generally be prepared by N-alkylating an intermediate of formula (III) with a reagent of formula (II). ##STR6## in (II) W represents an appropriate reactive leaving group such as, for example, halo, e.g., chloro, bromo or iodo, or a sulfonyloxy group, e.g. methylsulfonyl or 4-(methylphenyl)sulfonyloxy. The alkylation reaction is conveniently conducted in an inert organic solvent such as, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., benzene, methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene, and the like; a C.sub.1-6 alkanol, e.g., methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol and the like; a ketone, e.g., 2-propanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone and the like; an ether, e.g., 1,4-dioxane, 1,1'-oxybisethane, tetrahydrofuran and the like; N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF); N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA); dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); nitrobenzene; 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone; and the like. The addition of an appropriate base such as, for example, an alkali metal carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, sodium hydride or an organic base such as, for example, N,N-diethylethanamine or N-(1-methylethyl)-2-propanamine may be utilized to pick up the acid which is liberated during the course of the reaction. In some circumstances the addition of an iodide salt, preferably an alkali metal iodide, is appropriate. Somewhat elevated temperatures may enhance the rate of the reaction.

The compounds of formula (I) can also be prepared by the reductive N-alkylation reaction of (III) with an appropriate carbonyl-compound of formula L'.dbd.C.dbd.O (IV), said L'.dbd.C.dbd.O being a compound of formula L--H wherein a --CH.sub.2 --radical is oxidated to a carbonyl radical. ##STR7## Said reductive N-alkylation reaction may conveniently be carried out by catalytically hydrogenating a stirred and heated mixture of the reactants in a suitable reaction-inert organic solvent according to art-known catalytic hydrogenating procedures. The reaction mixture may be stirred and/or heated in order to enhance the reaction rate. Suitable solvents are, for example, water; C.sub.1-6 alkanols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and the like; cyclic ethers, e.g. 1,4-dioxane and the like; halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g. trichloromethane and the like; N,N-dimethylformamide; dimethyl sulfoxide and the like; or a mixture of 2 or more of such solvents. The term "art-known catalytic hydrogenating procedures" means that the reaction is carried out under hydrogen atmosphere and in the presence of an appropriate catalyst such as, for example, palladium-on-charcoal, platinum-on-charcoal and the like. In order to prevent the undesired further hydrogenation of certain functional groups in the reactants and the reaction products it may be advantageous to add an appropriate catalyst-poison to the reaction mixture, e.g., thiophene and the like.

The compounds of formula (I) can also be prepared by oxidatively cyclizing an urea or thiourea derivative of formula (V) in the presence of an appropriate oxidant. ##STR8## Appropriate oxidants are, for example, halogens, e.g. chlorine and bromine, thionyl chloride, sulfuryl chloride, thionyl bromide, sulfuryl bromide and the like agents. The said cyclization reaction is most conveniently conducted in a reaction-inert solvent such as, for example, an halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g. tetrachloromethane, trichloromethane and the like. Elevated temperatures may be appropriate to enhance the reaction rate.

The compounds of formula (I) wherein L is a radical of formula (a) or (b) wherein R.sup.5 is hydrogen can also be prepared by reacting an appropriate oxirane derivative of formula (VI), respectively of formula (VIII) with (III). The thus obtained compounds of formula (I-a-1) respectively of formula (I-a-3) may further be converted into the corresponding compounds of formula (I-a-2), respectively (I-a-4) by an appropriate acylation reaction. ##STR9## The reagent R.sup.5-a W.sup.1 represents an alkanoic acid or a reactive derivative thereof such as, for example, an ester, an acid halide or anhydride and the like.

The reaction of (VI) or (VIII) with (III) may conveniently be conducted in an appropriate solvent such as, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g. benzene, methylbenzene and the like, a C.sub.1-6 alkanol, e.g. methanol and ethanol. Elevated temperatures may be appropriate to enhance the reaction rate.

The compounds of formula (I), wherein R.sup.2 is absent and a double bond exists between the nitrogen bearing R.sup.2 and the previously defined interjacent carbon atom, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-b) can also be prepared by reacting an appropriate reagent of formula (IX) with a benzothiazole or benzoxazole of formula (X). ##STR10## In (IX) and (X) Q.sup.1 and Q.sup.2 are selected so that during the alkylation reaction a radical of formula --NR.sup.1 -- is formed. For example, where Q.sup.1 is an appropriate leaving group, Q.sup.2 is a radical of formula --NHR.sup.1, or where Q.sup.1 is a radical of formula --NHR.sup.1, Q.sup.2 is an appropriate leaving group.

The compounds of formula (I-b) wherein Z is O and R.sup.1 is hydrogen, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-b-1), can also be prepared by cyclodesulfurizing an intermediate of formula (XIV), which may conveniently be formed in situ by condensing an isothiocyanate (XII) with an aromatic aminoalcohol of formula (XIII). ##STR11## Said cyclodesulfurization reaction may be carried out by the reaction of (XIV) with an appropriate alkyl halide, preferably iodomethane in an appropriate reaction-inert organic solvent, e.g., a C.sub.1-6 alkanol such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and the like. Otherwise, the cyclodesulfurization reaction may be carried out by the reaction of (XIV) with an appropriate metal oxide or salt in an appropriate solvent according to art-known procedures. For example, the compounds of formula (I) can easily be prepared by the reaction of (XIV) with an appropriate Hg(II) or Pb(II) oxide or salt, such as, for example HgO, HgCl.sub.2, Hg(OAc).sub.2, PbO or Pb(OAc).sub.2. In certain instances it may be appropriate to supplement the reaction mixture with a small amount of sulfur. Even so methanediimines, especially N,N'-methanetetraylbis[cyclohexanamine] may be used as cyclodesulfurizing agents.

The compounds of formula (I-b) wheren R.sup.1 is hydrogen, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-b-2), may be prepared by cyclizing an intermediate (XVII), which in situ may be formed by reacting an isocyanate or isothiocyanate (XV) with an aromatic amine (XVI). ##STR12## In (XVI) and (XVII) W.sup.2 represents an appropriate leaving group such as, for example, halo, e.g. chloro and bromo; C.sub.1-6 alkyloxy and C.sub.1-6 alkylthio.

The compounds of formula (I) wherein L is a C.sub.1-12 alkyl radical or a substituted C.sub.1-6 alkyl radical, wherein said C.sub.1-12 alkyl or C.sub.1-6 alkyl contains at least two carbon atoms, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-c), may also be prepared by reacting an alkene of formula (XVIII) with an intermediate of formula (III) by stirring and, if desired, heating the reactants together, preferably in a suitable solvent such as, for example, an alcohol, e.g. methanol, ethanol, butanol and the like.

R.sup.11 --C.sub.2-6 alkenediyl--H (XVIII)+(III).fwdarw.R.sup.11 --C.sub.r H.sub.2r --D (I-c)

In (XVIII) R.sup.11 represents C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl, pyridinyl, pyridinyloxy, aryl, benzimidazolyl, indolyl, isoxazolyl being substituted with phenyl, 3-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyridin-2(3H)-yl, a radical of formula ArY, a radical of formula R.sup.9 O and a radical of formula (g); and in (I-c) r is an integer of from 2 to 6 included.

Additionally, the compounds of formula (I), wherein L is a radical of formula Ar--CO--NH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-d), can also be prepared by reacting an aziridine of formula (XIX) with (III), preferably in the presence of a suitable solvent such as, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g. benzene, methylbenzene and the like. ##STR13##

The compounds of formula (I) can also be converted into each other following art-known procedures. The compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen may be converted into compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 is other than hydrogen by reacting the former compounds with an appropriate N-alkylating reagent.

The compounds of formula (I) wherein L is a C.sub.1-6 alkyl radical substituted with hydroxy may further be O-alkylated with an appropriate reagent following art-known O-alkylating procedures.

In all of the foregoing and in the following preparations, the reaction products may be isolated from the reaction mixture and, if necessary, further purified according to methodologies generally known in the art.

The compounds of formula (I) have basic properties and, consequently, they may be converted to their therapeutically active non-toxic acid addition salt forms by treatment with appropriate acids, such as, for example, inorganic acids, such as hydrohalic acid, e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic and the like, and sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like; or organic acids, such as, for example, acetic, propanoic, hydroxyacetic, 2-hydroxy-propanoic, 2-oxopropanoic, ethanedioic, propanedioic, butanedioic, (Z)-2-butenedioic, (E)-2-butenedioic, 2-hydroxybutanedioic, 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, 4-methylbenzenesulfonic, cyclohexanesulfamic, benzoic, 2-hydroxybenzoic, 3-phenyl-2-propenoic, .alpha.-hydroxybenzeneacetic, 4-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic and the like acids. Conversely the salt form can be converted by treatment with alkali into the free base form.

A number of intermediates and starting materials in the foregoing preparations are known compounds which may be prepared according to art-known methodologies of preparing said or similar compounds. A number of such preparation methods will be described hereinafter in more detail.

The intermediates of formula (II) wherein L is C.sub.1-6 alkyl being substituted with pyridinyloxy, aryloxy, arylthio, arylamino or a radical R.sup.9-2 O--, said R.sup.9-a having the previously defined meaning of R.sup.9, provided that R.sup.9-a is other than hydrogen, can be prepared by alkylating an appropriate alcohol, thioalcohol or amine with a reagent W--C.sub.1-6 alkyl-W, or alternatively with a reagent W-Alk-OH, and subsequently converting the thus formed alcohol with a reagent capable of converting an alcohol function into a reactive leaving group, e.g. thionyl chloride, methylsulfonyl chloride and the like.

The intermediates of formula (III) can generally be prepared by oxidatively cyclizing an urea or thiourea derivative of formula (XX), wherein P is an appropriate leaving group such as, for example, C.sub.1-6 alkyloxycarbonyl, phenylmethoxycarbonyl, phenylmethyl and the like, following the same procedures described hereinabove for the preparation of (I) starting from (V) and, subsequently eliminating the protective group P in the thus obtained intermediate (XXI) ##STR14## The elimination of the protective group P in (XXI) may generally be carried out following art-known procedures such as, for example, by hydrolysis in alkaline or acidic aqueous medium.

The intermediates of formula (III) wherein R.sup.2 is absent and a double bond exists between the nitrogen bearing said R.sup.2 and the previously defined interjacent carbon atom, and wherein Z is O, said intermediates being represented by the formula (III-a) may alternatively be prepared by cyclodesulfurizing a thiourea of formula (XXIII), which may in situ be formed by condensing an isothiocyanate of formula (XXII) with an aromatic alcohol (XIII) following the procedures described hereinabove for the preparation of (I-b-1) starting from (XII) and (XIII), and subsequently eliminating the protective group P in the thus obtained intermediate (XXIV) as described hereinabove. ##STR15##

The intermediates of formula (III) wherein R.sup.2 is absent and a double bond exists between the nitrogen bearing said R.sup.2 and the previously defined interjacent carbon atom, said intermediates being represented by the formula (III-b) can also be prepared by cyclizing an intermediate (XXVI) which in situ may be formed by reacting an isocyanate or isothiocyanate (XXV) with (XVI), and subsequently eliminating the protective group P as described hereinabove. ##STR16##

The previously described intermediates can also be converted into each other following art-known functional group transformation procedures.

For example, the intermediates of formula (V) wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen and the intermediates of formula (V) wherein R.sup.2 is hydrogen, said intermediates being represented by the formula (V-a), respectively (V-b) can be prepared by reacting an isocyanate or isothiocyanate (XXVIII) with an aromatic amine (XXIX), respectively by reacting an amine (XXX) with an aromatic isocyanate or isothiocyanate (XXXI). ##STR17##

The intermediates of formula (VI) and of formula (VII) may be prepared by epoxidizing an alkene reagent of formula (XXXII) respectively of formula (XXXIII) with an appropriate epoxidizing reagent, e.g. with an aromatic peroxoacid, in a suitable solvent. ##STR18##

The intermediates of formula (XIX) may be prepared following the procedures described hereinabove for the preparation of (V-a) and (V-b).

During one of the reactions the intermediates wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen may be converted into the corresponding intermediates wherein R.sup.1 is other than hydrogen following art-known N-alkylating procedures.

From formula (I) it is evident that the compounds of this invention may have several asymmetric carbon atoms in their structure. Each of these chiral centers may be present in a R- and a S-configuration, this R- and S-notation being in correspondence with the rules described by R. S. Cahn, C. Ingold and V. Prelog in Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 5, 385, 511 (1966).

Pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) may be obtained by the application of art-known procedures. Diastereoisomers may be separated by physical separation methods such as selective crystallization and chromatographic techniques, e.g., counter current distribution, and enantiomers may be separated from each other by the selective crystallization of their diastereomeric salts with optically active acids.

Pure stereochemically isomeric forms may also be derived from the corresponding pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the appropriate starting materials, provided that the reaction occurs stereospecifically.

It is evident that the cis and trans diastereomeric racemates may be further resolved into their optical isomers, cis(+), cis(-), trans(+) and trans(-) by the application of methodologies known to those skilled in the art.

Stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) are naturally intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention.

The compounds of formula (I), their pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts and stereochemically isomeric forms possess useful pharmacological properties. For example, they show useful anti-hypoxic and anti-anoxic properties, which activity is clearly evidenced by the experimental data obtained in e.g. the "KCN Test in Rats".

In view of their anti-anoxic or anti-hypoxic activity, the compounds of formula (I), their acid addition salts and/or their possible stereoisomers are very useful in the treatment of warm-blooded animals suffering from anoxia or hypoxia, for example, in such situations where the oxygen supply is reduced or blocked, such as shock, cardiac arrest, severe blood losses and the like situations.

In view of their anti-anoxic and anti-hypoxic activity the subject compounds may be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective amount of the particular compound, in base or acid-addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions: or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed.

Acid addition salts of (I) due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions.

It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof.

The present invention is also related with a method of treating hypoxia or anoxia in warm-blooded animals suffering from said hypoxia or anoxia by administering an effective anti-anoxic or hypoxic amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.

Although the amounts to be administered to subjects may vary within rather large limits, daily doses varying of from 0.1 mg/kg body weight to 40 mg/kg body weight are preferred.

The following examples are intended to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise stated all parts therein are by weight.

EXAMPLE 28

A mixture of 5.5 parts of cis-N-(3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl-N-methyl-2-benzothiazolamine ethanedioate(1:1), 10.6 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.1 parts of potassium iodide and 200 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone was stirred and refluxed for 30 minutes. After cooling to 60.degree. C., 4.4 parts of 1-chloro-4-(4-chlorobutoxy)benzene were added. The whole was stirred and refluxed overnight. After cooling, water was added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (98:2 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was converted into the ethanedioate salt in 2-propanol. The salt was filtered off and dried, yielding 6 parts (73%) of cis-N-[1-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)butyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl]-N-methyl-2-be nzothiazolamine ethanedioate(1:1); mp. 210.4.degree. C.

C. The reaction mixture was cooled, poured onto water and the product was extracted with methylbenzene. The extract was washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (97:3 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was converted into the (E)-2-butenedioate salt in ethanol. The salt was filtered off and dried, yielding 1 part (20%) of 2-[methyl[1-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)-4-piperidinyl]amino]-5-benzothiazolol (E)-2-butenedioate(1:1); mp. 228.4.degree. C. (295).

EXAMPLE 31

To a stirred mixture of 1.1 parts of a sodium hydride dispersion 50% and 45 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide were added 3.1 parts of 4-[(2-benzothiazolyl)methylamino]-1-piperidinepropanol and the whole was stirred and heated for 2 hours at about 60.degree. C. After cooling to about 15.degree. C., 1.65 parts of 4-chloropyridine hydrochloride were added and stirring was continued overnight at 60.degree. C. The reaction mixture was cooled and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was taken up in water and extracted with methylbenzene. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by filtration over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (98:2 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 2,2'-oxybispropane, yielding, after drying, 1.5 parts (38%) of N-methyl-N-[1-[3-(4-pyridinyloxy)propyl]-4-piperidinyl]-2-benzothiazolamin e monohydrate; mp. 96.3.degree.

EXAMPLE 32

A mixture of 4.75 parts of cyclopentanone, 4.1 parts of N-(1-methylethyl)-N-(4-piperidinyl)-2-benzothiazolamine and 200 parts of methanol was hydrogenated at normal pressure and at room temperature with 2 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off over Hyflo and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (98.5:1.5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was converted into the (Z)-2-butenedioate salt in 2-propanol. The salt was filtered off and dried, yielding 3.9 parts (56.6%) of N-(1-cyclopentyl-4-piperidinyl)-N-(1-methylethyl)-2-benzothiazolamine (Z)-2-butenedioate(1:1); mp. 178.5.degree. C. (297).

EXAMPLE 33

A mixture of 2.5 parts of [(4-fluorophenoxy)methyl]oxirane, 3.7 parts of N-methyl-N-(4-piperidinyl)-2-benzothiazolamine, 45 parts of methylbenzene and 40 parts of methanol was stirred and refluxed for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was converted into the hydrochloride salt in 2-propanol. The salt was filtered off and dried, yielding 6 parts (85%) of 4-[(2-benzothiazolyl)methylamino]-.alpha.-[(4-fluorophenoxy)methyl]-1-pipe ridineethanol monohydrochloride; mp. 168.4.degree.-178.8.degree.

C. Pharmacological Examples

The useful anti-anoxic properties of the compounds of formula (I) can be demonstrated in the following test procedures.

EXAMPLE 46 KCN Test in Rats

Histotoxic anoxia is produced by a rapid intravenous injection of potassium cyanide (KCN) in rats.

KCN in control rats induces abdominal contractions and clonic seizures and is lethal within 2 minutes. The protection from KCN induced lethality appears to be a simple way of evaluating quantitatively the anti-anoxic properties of the test compounds. Male Wistar rats weighing .+-.200 g were treated subcutaneously with a test compound. One hour after treatment there was injected intravenously a KCN solution at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight. Survival after 2 minutes was evaluated and ED.sub.50 -values were determinated.

The ED.sub.50 -values of the compounds of formula (I) are listed in table I. Said ED.sub.50 -values are those values in mg/kg body weight capable of protecting 50% of the tested animals against KCN-induced lethality.

The compounds listed in table 1 are not given for the purpose of limiting the invention thereto but only to exemplify the useful pharmacological activities of all the compounds within the scope of formula (I).
